Mystery woman identified

GURGAON: The mystery woman, whose body with bullet wounds was found abandoned in a car, has finally been identified as Vinita Yadav, a resident of Badshapur. She was the wife of the accused Sunil alias Sunny, who was booked for the murder of bodybuilder Rakesh alias Raku. Though it's yet to be ascertained but a police source said Sunil alias Sunny killed both his wife and Rakesh and same weapon was used in both the murders.

"We suspect that Sunil alias Sunny might have killed his wife. The bullets used in the murders are also under the scanner. The accused is on the run. Our teams are on the job and after the arrest of the accused will clear the picture," Surinder Pal Singh, DCP (West) told TOI. Vinita was identified by her mother and uncle Billu after seeing her photograph a day after her cremation, he said. Vinita was a native of Hazipur Kiranj village in Sohna block of Gurgaon district.

A police source said that the suspect's wife, Vinita, allegedly had an illicit affair with the deceased bodybuilder's cousin, Radheshyam. On May 21, 2012, an FIR of attempt to rape was lodged by Vinita with the Badshapur police station against the bodybuilder's cousin. At that time a panchayat was held in the village where the matter was closed after compromise, but Vinita's husband was upset with all the developments. He succumbed to family pressure, but refused to live with his wife. The very next day, he left his house and his wife went to her mother's place with their four-year-old son. After some time, about six months ago, she started living in her uncle's house in Sector 21, Gurgaon.

Sources said that at that time Sunny was planning to murder Rakesh alias Raku, because at the time of compromise Raku had played an important role in the agreement. In December 2012, Sunny stole a Santro car from a resident of Jharsa and also stole a bike. It is possible that Sunny had wanted to kill the bodybuilder in December but his plan failed. After the murder of Raku, Sunil alias Sunny met his wife and took her from her uncle's house on the pretext of visiting a sick family member and shot her dead in Rajendra Park area and fled, said a reliable source, reconstructing the probable sequence of events.

"During the investigation, we got some indications that the alleged accused in the bodybuilder's murder is also the accused in the woman's murder," K K Sindhu, commissioner of police, told TOI.
